I am fully triggered, I think. Not fussed about it just wow. I had had an emotional bit over the girl's helpless(and hopeless)ness, which was stronger than expected but still reasonable.
Then I found myself in tears over a kitchen item that wasn't where I expected it.

Jeeessssuuuuussss this is taking me for fucking ever. I've started letting it play on audio even I'm driving. It's not bad I'm just busy with other things, I guess.

DNF at 80%

I feel bad but I'm getting bored. Grace's "aww shucks" attitude and "golly gee willackers" vocabulary are wearing thin. The mystery of why he's on the ship instead of qualified people isn't something I care about anymore. Does he make it back to Earth? Is Rocky dead? Does Rocky make it back to Erid? Do these two figure anything useful out or do they keep comparing biology until they starve to death? Not sure I care.

This.... Is going to be so much better than my last book.

Having a "this feels forced and maybe I don't believe these characters". I'll power on a while longer but this is a major disappoint so far.

Insecure unlikable asshole woman vs some guy who isn't all that interesting. I just don't dig sports stars.

Jesus this book needs editing so badly. I feel like it was translated from another language by someone who isn't actually skilled with English. I just cannot. Even. It was too jarring repeatedly having to rearrange words to make grammatical sense. Even when I had managed to turn the jumble of words into a concept seeing what words might be "synonyms" according to a thesaurus but not in the context used.

I'm having serious creep factor here. I've read/watched a lot of scary stuff and I don't know. This has my skin crawling a bit so far.
The only stupidly unbelievable thing I've got is Kara sleeping in the museum after discovering the things they did. Just no fkn way.
I'm getting flashes of all sorts of things from all kinds of sources but Cartman's alternate dimension murder fish is funniest.

Not as compulsively readable as other books I've read recently but that might be because of where this differs from the movie I know so well--so far not a lot but enough so I notice.

I'm counting each title of manga/comic I've read as 1 book, not each volume... so I still have 6 to go for the year. Pressure is on. 😬

Got this in a giveaway. 💪

I'm reading this a) to complete the trilogy and get the thing out of my currently reading list b) because reading THIS nets me 2 completed books. I have 7 left to get me a many books read this year as years I have been in this earth so 2 in 1 is a good deal.

I'm not hating this book but I'm reading it to finish it more than enjoying it. I'm hoping once I'm done here I can devour other things with more enthusiasm.

GD it. Why I do dis to me?!

I'm going in. Wish me luck!

After a seemingly endless wait for Lies Sleeping to come available from the library, I have it available to read. Plus the next 2 books in my line up (Those Who Hunt the Night and Nemesis Games), then Network Affect came out (which I had preordered). Nevermind all of the shit I'm supposed to read for the NCLEX... Crap I have a lot to read in a short period of time.

Pretty sure this isn't supposed to be what I feel but I just laughed out loud at the dream king.

Conviction! He lacks it.

I'm not sure I can keep this up. I get that times are different and everything but the mind of this Lord Eden is baffling and capricious. He stands for nothing. He facilitates, forces, renounces and decries, then forgives an unconscionable act. He has no moral compass and no principles.
I may take me a break.

It's on like Donkey Kong. I blame Nenia.

I have to reread this because I cracked open volume 4 and had no idea what was going on.

Am I supposed to be laughing so hard while reading this? 😅

It's interesting how the availability of free things has been adjusting the course of my reading. I had tried for years not to read books in the same series back to back because I felt it diminished my critical assessment of each book and the series as a whole. This may have been erroneous, though. I am definitely digging these series more as I read through them close together. Perhaps series are better when binged.

For someone from Alaska, it's a weird thing to be reading a book where you can count the days or hours since you last were physically at the locations mentioned.
It's even more unsettling when what you're reading happens to be a true crime book detailing the doings of a serial killer.
There aren't any ridiculous myths to hide behind and laugh at (everyone living in igloos, riding polar bears, etc), either.

Oh my geeeee I want to keep reading THIS, not my pediatric nursing book!

YAY for short library holds!

aaaaaaaand that's a wrap.
